Need to reset GridDataControl column sizing to Auto after programmatically resetting visible columns

[Steve McWilliams]

My gridDataControl is set with ColumnSizer=Auto in XAML and it initially displays  columns sized according to header / cell size as expected.

But when user picks new columns to display, I clear out the VisibleColumns and add new ones in .cs code.

But then it seems the 'Auto' format is lost, because all the columns display with a fixed size that is much larger than necessary.

How do I restore Auto column sizing in .cs code ?

Hi Steve,

You can restore the Auto column sizer to grid by invoking RefreshAll() method as shown in the below code snippet,

Code Example:

private void AddColumns()       

        {

            this.syncgrid.VisibleColumns.Clear();

            this.syncgrid.VisibleColumns.Add(new GridDataVisibleColumn() { MappingName = "JobNumber", HeaderText = "Open Unit" });

            this.syncgrid.VisibleColumns.Add(new GridDataVisibleColumn() { MappingName = "ProductID" });

            this.syncgrid.VisibleColumns.Add(new GridDataVisibleColumn() { MappingName = "ProductName" });

            this.syncgrid.VisibleColumns.Add(new GridDataVisibleColumn() { MappingName = "Quantity" });

            this.syncgrid.ClearValue(GridDataControl.ColumnSizerProperty);

            this.syncgrid.ColumnSizer = GridControlLengthUnitType.Auto;

            this.syncgrid.Model.ColumnAutoSizer.RefreshAll();
        }

Please let me know if you have any further query.

I get error saying I cannot access internal method 'RefreshAll()' here

However, the problem seems to be fixed anyway  just by the first two lines, doing the ClearValue() and resetting sizer to auto.

Hi Steve,

Yes, the reported auto column sizer problem will be fixed by clearing and resetting the value of column sizer as shown in our previous code example.

Regarding the query, I get error saying I cannot access internal method 'RefreshAll()' here:

In your version (10.3), RefreshAll method is not exposed for public use. As reset column sizer solves your problem, you can use the same.

Please let me know if you have any other concern.
